For the past month in a half my hands have been dry and pealing. I've tried moisturizing cream, lotion, and cortaid. Nothing has seemed to work. It seems like it doesn't want to heal. I don't know what to do. I've been told from a friend that I should try bagbalm, they use it on cows nipples for when there dried. Im all out of options. Someone please help!

Use Eucerin, it works really well. I would also get some white moisturizing gloves and put Vaseline on and leave the gloves on over night while you sleep. You can get the gloves at any beauty store, the Eucerin at Target or Walmart, maybe the beauty store too. Moisturize after every time you wash your hands also because soap dries it out.

Try Burts bees hand salve. it worked great on me.
If that doesn't help, you may want to see a doctor... it kind of sounds like psoriasis. Also change your hand soap to a fragrance free, NON ANTIBACTERIAL kind. That stuff really fries your hands. I would seriously recommend going to a health food store and getting the salve plus one of their hand soaps that doesn't contain parabens and sodium laruryl sulfate.

Plenty of water is a great option.
Believe it or not, the proper amount of nutrition and vitamins also minerals play a vital role.
